Banteay Srei

Make the trip to Banteay Srei for the fine reliefs carved into its pink sandstone buildings. Its small scale brings the unusually intricate lintels and pediments near eye level.

Why go

The small scale brings the surface carving close: lintels, pediments and door frames carry unusually intricate detail. The outer location makes it a distinct excursion from the central Angkor circuit. Compare the pink stone and densely worked surfaces with larger central temples. The outer enclosure also helps reveal how a compact sanctuary can carry such a rich sculptural programme.

What to look for

  • Compare the pink sandstone with the darker stone at central Angkor.
  • Look for detailed scenes on the pediments and lintels.
  • Walk the garden and outer enclosure around the sanctuary.

Useful to know

  • Allow for the separate drive from central Angkor.
  • Take time at the exterior carvings before moving through the inner enclosure.
